Experimenting With the Fuji

A couple of reasons why I took these. I wanted to take pictures using the different settings on the Fuji. Flash, existing light, macro, auto mode and manual. This is the first rose to grow after a major butchering. I love roses. They are so tough. A couple of weeks ago, the rose bushes were stunted, dying and covered with wilted blooms. The rose garden itself was weed choked and I couldn't see some of the smaller bushes. So, I yanked weeds, cut back the bushes till the canes were a couple of inches long and then laid down some new redwood bark. Now the bushes are coming back stronger than ever. Miracle-Gro helps.
